Xu Xin immediately got up from the bed and looked out the window.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual in the jungle at this time. The sun had just risen and the breeze was blowing on his face, which even made him feel a little comfortable.

Looking at the map, there are still no red dots on the developed and undeveloped territories.

But Xu Xin knew that under this calmness, there was a huge crisis hidden.

The weakening of the treehouse's protective capabilities means that the monsters underground are likely to break through the defense line and appear directly in the protected area.

No, it has already appeared!

The situation last night was probably the result of the tree house’s weakened protective capabilities after the heavy rain season!

"Hey..." Xu Xin's movements woke up Coco. She turned over, sat up from the bed, and rubbed her eyes with her little paws.

"Go on to sleep, it's still early." Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head. Today's activities probably have little to do with Coco.

"Ugh..." After hearing this, Keke fell down and fell asleep holding her tail.

Regional channels have also become lively.

"The treehouse is less protective? What does that mean?"

"It is said that some monsters will appear when you leave the protected area. Have any of you been out there?"

"The grass on the graves of those who have been out is three feet high."

"The activities start this early in the morning? Isn't it usually nine o'clock..."

"Friends! Don't go down from the tree house! I just went down to see what was going on. Just after taking two steps, a vine thicker than my arm suddenly came out of the ground! If I hadn't returned to the tree house quickly

, I’m afraid it’s all going to get cold!”

Seeing someone say this on the regional channel, Xu Xin showed an expression that was indeed true.

Sure enough, the ground is completely unsafe now! Those underground monsters that cannot appear in the protected area have now appeared on the ground!

"Oh my God! That vine is attacking my tree house, what should I do? It's actually attacking the trunk of the tree house!"

"Attacking the tree house?!"

"Is this... is this a battle to defend the tree house? Now even the tree house is not safe..."

Will vines attack tree trunks?

Xu Xin suddenly thought that the trunk of his treehouse had been equipped with a defense facility called [Treehouse Wooden Armor] a long time ago.

Xu Xin checked his production list and found the armor that could protect the trunk of the tree house.

[Treehouse Wooden Armor (Green): The armor installed on the trunk of the treehouse can effectively reduce the damage to the treehouse caused by wild beast attacks. Requires logs (green)*2]

Xu Xin remembered that the shape of this armor was similar to a cylinder cut in half vertically, and two armors needed to be added to each meter of tree trunk.

Although the introduction talks about attacking beasts, it should also be effective against mutated creatures.

He directly sent a private message to the person who was attacked: "How is the situation? Is it doing much damage to the trunk of the tree house?"

The other person replied instantly: "It's Mr. Xu Xin!!! Help me!!"

Xu Xin: "Don't worry, tell me the situation!"

"It...the vines outside...have been attacking the tree trunk, that is, swinging and whipping the trunk! I can hear the sound of part of the trunk being chipped away with each whip, and the whole tree house is shaking.

!”

"Did the vines launch a piercing-like attack on the treehouse?"

"Yes! Yes! But they seem to be unable to penetrate the tree trunk, so they have stopped attacking now and are whipping wildly. Each whip can peel off a layer of bark! Boss, help!"

"Do you have any logs? Give them to me and I will make you some tree house armor!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The other party got excited immediately after catching Hope, and instantly traded hundreds of logs to him. Such many logs should be all his inventory.

"Are you a low tree house?"

"Yes boss!"

The trunk under the canopy of the low tree house is only about three meters, and six pieces of wooden armor can wrap the entire exposed trunk.

Xu Xin made twelve pieces for him: "Assemble this on the trunk of the tree house!"

"Understood boss!!"

To assemble the armor, you only need to choose a location in the tree house. It is similar to a heavy crossbow and does not need to go out, so it is still very safe.

After dozens of seconds, the other person responded: "Thank you, boss!! Boss, you saved my life!!"

Xu Xin gave him the wooden armor just to let him try the effect: "How about it, can you protect it?"

"Prevent it! Prevent it! After I assembled the armor, the trunk of the tree house was completely wrapped. Those vines continued to hit the armor, and the effect was greatly weakened!"

"How much weakened?"

"It's just that... the vines will leave a relatively deep mark when they hit the tree trunk. If you pick a specific location and hit them, I'm afraid you can break the tree house after a few hundred blows! But after the armor is installed, although the armor is every

It will be damaged even if it is whipped once, but there will only be shallow marks! A set of armor can definitely last for a long time!"

"Don't the vines attack the treehouse? I mean, the treehouse canopy."

"If you don't attack, don't attack. They will only attack tree trunks now!"

After understanding the situation, Xu Xin relaxed a little. At present, the armor can basically prevent the attacks of vines, but I don’t know what kind of monsters will appear in addition to vines in this tree house defense battle.

.

"Okay, I gave you six more pieces of armor. If the armor is destroyed, you should replace it immediately. If the vines outside stop attacking or the armor is destroyed, contact me immediately." Xu Xin wanted to see this piece of armor.

How long can it last.

"Okay, boss, I promise to complete the mission!"

Xu Xin looked outside the tree house again. It seemed that as long as he didn't go down, at least for now, those mutated vines would not appear on their own initiative.

On the regional channel, some people walked out of the treehouse for various reasons and brought out the mutated vines from the ground. Now they are all complaining.

Some people even just stick their heads out of the window, and vines will emerge from the ground to attack. This reminded him of yesterday's red mist. A little bird flew into the red mist and was immediately pierced and involved.

underground.

At present, it seems that only vines have been drilled out, and there are no plants such as large piranha and flytraps that Xu Xin encountered in the dungeon, and there are no mutant beasts.

He immediately sent a message on the regional channel: "Everyone, don't run outside anymore, and don't stick your heads out of the tree house. Even if you don't step on the ground, as long as you appear outside the tree house, you will be targeted by the mutated monsters underground.

The best way at this stage is to stay in the tree house and not go anywhere, so there won’t be any problems for the time being!”

His words were immediately repeated by other survivors.

"Listen to the boss and you will live longer."

"Haha, I won't go down unless the boss tells me."

"Thank you, boss! I almost went out. I was just about to go down and pick the fruits from the fruit trees that ripened yesterday... Forget it, just be hungry if you are hungry. You won't die from starvation for a few days. It's better than being in a tree house.

Good attack."

There was no food in the jungle for these two days, so some people thought of a way to use their points to exchange for green-level fertilizers from the points mall to ripen green-level fruit trees, which would bear fruit the next day. But who would have thought that the trees would be able to bear fruit the next day?

I can't even get out of the house.

"Boss! Boss! Help! There are so many vines coming out of the ground and they have been attacking the trunk of the tree house!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, boss? I wouldn't have gone down if I had told you earlier!"

Judging from the situation on the regional channel, hundreds of people were complaining in just these few dozen minutes. At the same time, he also saw that the number of people on the regional channel dropped by more than forty. These people should not have responded yet.

As soon as I came over, I was pierced by the vines.

Better help them.

Inside [Explorer], Ji Chaoyang also spoke: "What Xu Xin said on the regional channel is right. Don't go out now. Let's observe the situation first."

Wen Guixin: "Don't panic, even if they come out, I can kill them."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Are you so confident? This is a monster outside the protected area, it must be very strong!"

Xu Xin: "The individual combat power of these vines is not very strong, which is slightly stronger than the mutated beasts in the dungeon, but they are numerous and everywhere, and there may be dozens or hundreds of them at a time."

Wen Guixin: "A lot of them? Hum, I just like a lot of monsters."

Wang Lei: "Brother Xu has dealt with this kind of vine?"

Xu Xin told them about the two vines he had encountered and their respective attack methods.

Ji Chaoyang: "So I have also encountered it. During the original exploration activity, the copper treasure chest was obtained from the roots of several blood-striped vines."

Li Wenxi: "Hey, me too, the guardian beast next to my copper treasure chest is also a vine!"

Qi Xuefei: "I thought everyone was different. I was also a vine back then."

Qin Yunlong: "...I'm not, I have a huge gopher here."

The other people also spoke one after another, saying that they were not vines, but some animals.

Although he didn't know why, Xu Xin didn't want to say this now. He directly expressed his thoughts: "We have all obtained silver treasure chests, which can be used to make [Tree House Wooden Armor], and now we can sell it to others."
